« June Dirt! | Main | Prelude to an Update »

Just a quick update to tide us all over in these hot summer months. We’ve been peaking at 100 degrees here at Villainess HQ, and thought we could all use a crisp, cool summer skin-scent. It’s a perfect opportunity to collaborate with one of our favourite perfumeries - The Scent of Angels in both a delicate, gold-swirled, skin-softening Smooch! and our perfect-year-round, light ‘n fluffy Whipped!. I think it turned out beautifully, and look forward to our next collusion!

And, apparently I’ve got a cake hangup. Which, my nutritionist wouldn’t find surprising. So, while this is no Birth Rite layer cake of d00m, Trifling is yummy, no less.

“Blackberry buttermilk sponge cake - soaked in a fruit tissane, spiced with cumin and filled with an apricot compote.”

For this go ‘round, I broke out the cake pans round molds and actually layered these fruity concoctions, so you’ll receive a perfect triangular slice (serving dish not included ).

The single-most fabulous development this month is our long-awaited SAMPLES! We’ve had countless requests to make our sample sizes available for retail consumption, but’ve juggled a few logistical concerns - inventory, packaging, production - the usual. We’ve finally got that sorted, so we opened them up on the site last week for a test run. Seems to be working fine! We’ll be rotating bitty sizes from our general catalog of Soap, Smooch & Whipped products, and those sizes are priced comparable to their bigger counterparts. Orders consisting of nothing-but sample sizes are not eligible for our existing Freebie policy, but we will be happy to extend our “Free Shipping over $100” offer. We’ve had an equal amount of requests for perfume samples, and we’re working on it. See the above re: logistics. ;)
